    That's the kind of car you'll get good money for privately.

    I'd sell it privately. That's ridiculously low mileage and that type of car would be in demand now.

    There's an 04 on done deal for 6.5 with twice the miles.

    You wouldn't get 3 for it on a trade I bet. Stick it on done deal for 5200 and see what happens....

    Take into account the discount you'll get for doing a straight deal.

    Also, look at the SEAT Leon, they've dropped prices to €16900 for the petrol (don't bother) and the 1.9 TDI to €18900. you can get A/C for €500 extra.

    I'm not saying the Leon is better than the 3, it's an older model. but it's good value.

    ...why on earth sell a car with such low mileage ??

    If you've owned it from new, it's paid for, and that mileage is as good as none, so why bother ? Enjoy having no repayments for a few years !

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    makes 100% sense to me.

    but be careful - the locals dont like that sort of post around here.

    i suggested something similar on another thread a few days ago and i was lynched

    m8, you could have sold the toyota between then and now. Guaranteed any deal he/she does for you will be way less than if you walked in with green backs.

    They're probably giving you a 3k discount at most and robbing your corolla from you for peanuts. Unless you've got it to burn I'd sell the Toyota privately.

    I'll give you 2k for the corolla if you want? ;-)

    Not a whole lot, if anymore tbh.

    Added to the fact that every car in the current Toyota lineup is as bland as the inside of Jordan's head, I think he's better of with the Mazda.

    The mazda 3 feels like a mclaren mercedus compared to my toyota :pac:.

    I would agree with this. You will then know what you are really getting for your car. You can then make the decision on how to sell it depending on whether you feel you can get more than this value for it.
